Finally something to share! At least I think worthy of sharing. This beautiful lamp 😍 sat in my mother in laws in storage for a while and just got it today. Have to figure what kind of shade to replace this one 🙃

I found a large Friskies tub of random small things at Goodwill today, and spied three glass candies inside. I was super surprised to see just how many were hiding amongst the other things. There was most of a stone carved chess set, small ceramic cranes, vintage mouse and heron figurines, teeny plastic turtles, a plastic sphynx and two small glass whales.
I'm so happy for everything in that tub, even if all I was after was the glass candies! 4.99 was a steal for these small treasures!

Left at Goodwill, Kirkland WA. But if I were a Carolyn, it would have absolutely come home with me!

I found these old Mickey Mouse play dishes while cleaning out my parent’s attic. They belonged to my mother who was born in 1927 and were hers as a child. They are in the original box, and the box is stamped with “Made in Japan”. Has anyone seen these before or know what they’re worth?

Found this Whiting and Davis vintage metal mesh bag today at the Council Thrift in Palms CA. I've never seen one this big with the face before. Def wonderful and I got it for $6 and change!

I have a small ceramic light up Christmas tree collection and I saw this guy on marketplace, just a few minutes away. I didn’t have a blue one and I’ve never seen one with a face before.
My husband and children all think it looks cursed 🤣 I sent the listing picture to my husband and he said,” that’s so weird, I love it! You should go buy it!” I was already on my way, lol.

Scored another tension pole lamp to match my other one. the first I found at an estate sale in Seattle and the second one I found on Facebook marketplace from a lady who also lived in Seattle. When I got my first one I found out my mom had the same lamp in her childhood home growing up so these are extra special to me. ✨

Purchased this little vessel from an antique shop in Carmel, NY. Glass, crystal, sterling overlay. It’s about the size of my index finger. Not quite sure what it is or what it’s used for but I had to have it!
